New Year’s Eve 2015: Police and paramedics ready themselves with one million people expected to descend on Sydney harbour

With more than one million people are heading into Sydney’s harbour front to see this year’s New Year’s Eve fireworks and authorities are preparing for the busiest night of the year.

Operation Delvin, involving thousands of police officers, both in highly visible and in covert and intelligence roles, has been in the works for 12 months as authorities prepare for the evening.

Police say they’re ready for anything and have spent the year making sure the night will be a safe one and despite Australia’s terror threat remaining at ‘probable’, police have urged people not to avoid the city.

“There's no specific threat for New Year’s Eve and that comes on the back of a number of arrests over the course of the year,” NSW Police Force Assistant Commissioner Michael Fuller said.

“There are thousands of additional police and emergency service workers and government departments that will work from tomorrow morning to ensure that New Year’s Eve is a safe and family friendly event.”

Emergency services are preparing for their busiest night of the year and extra police officers, paramedics and firefighters will be on duty around the city and all major vantage points.

Last New Year’s Eve, paramedics responded to more than 2000 incidents.
